Polymerupdate has been a global leader in the field of providing market intelligence in the plastics and petrochemical domain for more than a decade. The price and market information provided by Polymerupdate has been a benchmark for members from the plastics fraternity in making trade decisions. Regular feedback from this global community of members has prompted Polymerupdate to venture into conferences. With the aim of cementing its commitment to the industry and bringing industry titans on a common platform to share trade ideas and expertise, the company started its independent conference division in 2010.

The first conference was held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, in Mumbai, India from August 19-20, 2010. Polymerupdate Global Petrochemical Conference (PGPC 2010) was a grand success. It informed, educated and entertained more than 150 domestic and international delegates. Companies such as LyondellBasell, Haldia Petrochemicals, OPaL, Borouge, SABIC, Indorama, presented papers at the conference. The second PGPC on Engineering & High Performance Plastics was held on April 14th, 2011 at the Hyatt Regency, Mumbai, India. PGPC has become a Knowledge Sharing / Networking / Business Integration Platform for industry professionals. PGPC conferences delivers synergizing networking, interactive platform, reinvigorating environment, insightful agenda, inspirational speakers and key decision makers.

PolymerUpdate has launched The PolymerUpdate Club (TPC) in 2012, an initiative encouraging industry interaction in an informal setting. Many in the industry had hinted at their keen interest in meeting with fellow colleagues over evening cocktails rather than at a formal event. We paid heed to their requests and our first get-together on October 12, 2012 in Mumbai, saw an encouraging turnout. The next TPC cocktail evening was organized on Fri Dec 7th, at Cest La Vie at Hill Road, Bandra.

Adding feathers to its existing achievements, PolymerUpdate and Platts with the support of CPMA organized a "Night of the Industry Stars" on September 5, 2013 at Hotel Hyatt Regency, Mumbai. The evening saw an impressive presence of industry leaders from across India's premier petrochemical companies including resin producers, processors, distributors and trading houses.

Stay tuned ! We will keep you informed about the 'India Polymer Awards', we have planned in partnership with Platts, in 2014.
